If you have this old cheap and hardy adapter, and wish to save some loose change just follow what I have done and perhaps you will be spared from buying a new adapter. I use built-in Windows 7 device driver from Atheros Communications, Inc. and selected 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapter. After install, the system automatically detect and enabled the adapter, but with limited capability and will not get DHCP address configuration. Had to manually configure the IP address, mask, gateway, and DNS after which the system worked fine. Your experience will depend on your luck and system configuration and if you feel happy DHCP might work in your case. Happy computing and hope this post helps.
